If you think Land Boundary Agreement is about land going this side and that side, then think again. It is a meeting of hearts.
We are two countries which have built bridges over land issue to connect to each other. Any other developed country would have been given Nobel prize for such an act. But we are poor countries, so nobody notices us.
I assure you, we will find a resolution to Teesta water issue on human principles.
Bangladesh, like India, is a youthful nation. I'm sure the development journey of Bangladesh cannot stop now.
India can learn from Bangladesh how to beat infant mortality.
In terms of women empowerment Bangladesh has reached new standards. The Prime Minister, the Speaker, the leader of opposition, the leader of opposition political party, the Vice Chancellor (at Dhaka University) are all women.
Your cricket team entered the world arena late, however they are counted as equals by the other teams of the world.
Every sixth person is an Indian, still India is not in the UN (United Nations) Security Council.
